NEWS  THIS WEEK'S TOP STORY

Online, a Global Strategy Starts at Home

When attempting to reconfigure their Web sites with foreigners in mind, companies often overlook domestic minority groups

Inside: This Week in SmallBiz
The Internet has made it easy for even the smallest companies to go global by giving them access to markets all over the world. But many companies continue to overlook the opportunities that the Web creates right in their own backyards. In our special report on going global, learn why it may make sense to target domestic minority groups as a first step to doing business abroad. Get advice on finding foreign partners and avoiding common mistakes. And flip through profiles on 20 countries to consider.

Also this week, go behind the scenes with the entrepreneur who created Brooklyn's Steiner Studios, which is credited with bringing some $680 million worth of film production to New York City. Find out about estate planning and which financial vehicles are right for your specific situation. And tune in to podcasts on managing home-based workers and alternatives to cold calling. Enjoy!
